Maccabi Tel Aviv Coach Oded Kattash Hopes for Improvement Against Aris Thessaloniki
Maccabi Tel Aviv's head coach, Oded Kattash, expressed his hope for an improved performance in the team's upcoming preparation game against Greek club Aris Thessaloniki. The match, scheduled for Friday, will be Maccabi's third preparation game and their first against a non-Israeli opponent as part of a tournament in Nicosia.
Kattash described the game as a "test of tools," acknowledging that the team is not yet at peak fitness, especially with recent player additions. He emphasized the value of playing against quality opponents, stating that such games can be highly educational and help foster team cohesion and game dynamics.
The coach outlined the team's objectives for this stage of preparation, which include distributing playing time among players and experimenting with different strategies. Kattash specifically mentioned a desire to see improvement from the previous game, similar to the progress observed between Maccabi's first and second preparation matches.
